Kobe needs to accept a reduced role and take less than half his current salary. $30M? Ridiculous. But it was worth it to have him all these years, this is just the price to pay for an older player thats all

yup he isn't worth that unless you count the sales he brings in and he'll still fill up the seats. but he's not the same.... and i dont see him taking a reduced role here... lakers need to let him go and him fit in a new team and try to win it and lakers do something with d12 and the future... this isn't working at all

I'm not sure how this team is so bad with all that collective skill and IQ on the court. It seems like Howard is so easily neutralized in crunch time, Nash doesn't shoot or make plays, Kobe is a wildcard, Pau doesn't seem to be physical enough to compete. The hustle and fight of MWP and Clark are effective for stretches in the game, but they aren't "closers".

I'm just amazed each game that goes by that makes Nash, Bryant, Gasol and Howard look like a bench mob. It's honestly one of the strangest things I've seen in sports.

UCLA, Los Angeles, CA. Born and Raised. In Dr. Buss I Truss! THE ORIGINATOR OF: "Call It From Heaven Chick!" "To be removed if the Lakers make the playoffs." Well, I removed it for an hour and decided to put it back. I have to be honest.

At this point, there is no reason to make a move to try and make the playoffs. Playoffs are not gonna happen. Might as well work on next season. Whatever moves they make better be for next season. Unless there's a Pau for Lebron type trade out there, any move they make will not get them to the playoffs.
